Burn your own copy.
Data on a HDD or SSD (without DRM) is also physical media, and much more flexible. No need to expend more plastic locking data onto a dying format.
More like dead format. I haven’t had a dvd player in my home for over a decade
No game consoles? Everything from the PS2 and Xbox forward has the ability to play DVDs.
Blu Ray starting with the PS3 and Xbox One.
4K UHD starting with the Xbox One S and PS5.
No game consoles?
What, PC’s with lock-in firmware? Thanks, no.
I wouldn’t mind like a store where you buy movies and music but you bring your own storage device, maybe 2 to get a safety backup in case something happens on the way home.
A business that connects to random people’s usb drives all day? What could possibly go wrong!
Do you know how copyshops work?
I mean… no shit? Netflix’s business is not making good films or TV shows. It is getting people to sign up to Netflix and then forget about it for a few years.
It sucks because I very much prefer my media on blu-ray (and then on my plex server). And we are increasingly seeing media that is very much dependent on HDR and gets demolished by encoding and bandwidth limitations. But… that is more a “problem” of the creators not realizing their medium (similar to how a Nolan mix is perfect if you have a center channel but… most TVs and cell phones don’t have one).
Flanagan made Hill House and Midnight Mass for Netflix. So it’s not like there aren’t at least some good shows.
